Post by: Scunner on March 29, 2010, 21:07:30 PM: I also don't recall detecting any paprika, although having a sauce with it mixed with melted butter also sounds good to me :)

Post by: janet.gur on March 29, 2010, 22:50:24 PM: obviously a different version served in different parts of Turkey which is not unusual. Had it lots of times but mainly in northern Turkey and it is gorgeous but it would be equally good with a tomato puree sauce. I remember going to the most famous Iskender restaurant in Bursa which I was told is where it originated and theirs was to die for

I'm sure you are right, there are regional variations for most things and I like the sound of both :)

Somine Kebap was also good, if you got there on a day when the kebap chef wasn't off because of a family injury/the only chef who knows the kebap meat recipe is on holiday/the official kebap cutting knife had retired.

Gar lokantas opposite Carrafore is a good one (Tomato sauce).
